NAME
       garmin_save_runs - retrieve track logs from a Forerunner device.

SYNOPSIS
       garmin_save_runs

       garmin_save_runs  retrieves  track  logs  from  a  Garmin Forerunner device connected to an USB port, and saves the information into files.
       Files are saved with the extension ".gmn" and are named by the run start time (e.g. '20070121T151814.gmn').  The  .gmn  file  format  is  a
       binary  file format that can be unpacked with he garmin_dump or garmin_gmap utilities.  It is substantially more efficient than the bloated
       XML format that Garmin uses.

       The output of garmin_save_runs will tell you where on your filesystem the actual .gmn files were saved.	The default is to save them  in  a
       directory tree (by year and month) under the current directory.	You can override this by setting the environment variable GARMIN_SAVE_RUNS
       to whatever directory you like. Existing files are not overwritten.
